Reighton Road, Clapton
The Place:
Clapton town house garden.
The Brief:
Viriditas were tasked to refresh this Clapton couple’s garden elevating some of the features they loved like the existing pond, editing the trees and shrubs which had outgrown the space and adding wildlife friendly planting that would not only please Clapton's local wildlife but also be beautiful when the couple look out of their windows onto the space.
The Design:
The couples pond has been expanded into a naturalistic pool for their coy carp to explore amoungst multi-level planting including water iris and lillys.
Oversized boulders in warm sandstone now mark the existing level change nestling into the decking with rockery planting inhabiting the nooks and crannies between.
Across the bridge lies the outdoor dining area placed to make the most of the gardens last light ensconced in planting beds to all sides.
